Black-and-white photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate silver-trimmed throne with a headset microphone. He wears a wrapped turban with a red bindi, a draped dark robe, layered beaded rudraksha-style malas and a large ceremonial necklace of silver beads. His hands rest on the armrests and one leg is folded. Behind him, blurred deity murti and brass lamps suggest a temple or ashram stage. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in a throne as the speaker on stage.
